The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 125: Several Thoughts

Chapter 125: Several Thoughts (2)
Gee, sister!The courtyard wall collapsed, and the latrine built against the wall also collapsed. Su Xiazhi immediately felt that the millet porridge in her stomach had played a role. She glanced at Min Lansheng urgently, motioning him to say something quickly.

"Of course! This is a good omen, a great auspicious omen!" Min Lansheng walked a few steps to the incense table with burning incense candles, straightened her clothes and stroked her hair, then knelt down respectfully: "Thank God! Thank you!"

When he knelt down, the bewildered villagers around him also knelt down. Su Xiazhi couldn't help being poked like a wooden stake, so he had to kneel down with everyone.When I looked up, I happened to see the woman in front of her with a big butt like a millstone!
The scholar thanked Tiandi and then lit three incense sticks and put them in the incense burner before saying in a calm voice: "It is said that if you don't break, you can't stand. What you are talking about is the current situation."

"Before Zhuojing opened this noodle workshop, Shanxia Village couldn't rely on mountains to eat mountains, and all the neighbors could only suffer on the little land. Now that God has given us such a good omen, my lady..." He Looking at Su Xiazhi who was far away: "Although my husband didn't want you to show your face outside, now I support you to lead everyone to open this workshop well, for the benefit of everyone!"

"En!" Su Xiazhi nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.Nima, how much money will it cost to build the wall again!She is so distressed...

The scholar's few words almost ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present. Some of the women who quit earlier had already regretted it, secretly complaining that they had no long-term stamina and could not bear hardships.

There were also some women who surrounded Su Xiazhi on the spot and said that they would enter the workshop as an apprentice, just take care of the meals, and ask for wages after they learn it...

"The workshop opened the day before today, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things. Sisters-in-law and aunts, everyone, look at the wall of my house is still collapsed!" Su Xiazhi pointed back at the surrounding crowd and pointed to the "collapse site" and found that Gao Yue had already recovered from the ruins. He stepped over and ran all over the yard with the cat Xiaobai, holding a dead chicken in his hand!
The wall fell down, and Ji Xiaobai was smashed flat...

Su Xiazhi, who didn't like raising chickens in the first place, twitched her lips, it's easy, Xiaosi doesn't even have to knock on the door when she enters my house!

"Little Si! How can you be like this! Who wouldn't climb the wall in the right way!" Aunt Gao looked at her embarrassedly, and then she was the talented lady of their family's boss, and scolded her son loudly.

The scholar silently glanced at his own wife.Xindao: This is how my wife came here...

"Scholar's family, why don't you come up with an idea and build up the courtyard wall again while everyone is here?" The two families are close to each other, and the back wall of Min's house and the side wall of Gao's house are separated by more than [-] steps. The way the road looks.Gao Zhongwu saw that there were a lot of strong laborers who came to see the excitement, so he quickly gave Su Xiazhi a wink.

"This..." Su Xiazhi lowered her head and pondered.

The dilapidated house of the Min family is so old that it leaks everywhere. Last night, it was so dark that the lights could not be seen clearly. This morning, the husband and wife got up and checked every house. There were cracks in the beams.Such a house is no longer worth repairing, and it is not safe to live in.

"Everyone, if you are not busy, help me first, and help my house to clean up these old bricks first." After thinking about it for a while, Su Xiazhi raised her head and said to everyone: "It's dog days now, and there is too much rain, so let's not build the courtyard wall, wait Let’s talk about it in autumn!”

Now that the family doesn't have much money left, she can't spend any extra money to build the courtyard wall, so she can only make do with it for a month or two, and then see how she can raise a sum of money to rebuild the house together.

Gao Zhongwu nodded, pulled his sleeves to reveal two strong arms, and waved to the men in the crowd: "Brothers, don't look at those who are strong, and help the villagers!"

"Okay!" Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Gao Zhongwu took the lead in yelling, and all the men who had nothing to do gathered around and helped clean up without saying a word.

"Xiu Cai, you are here to greet me. I will go home to boil water and cook. I will leave everyone for dinner later."

"Okay." Min Lansheng also rolled up his sleeves, seeing his two thick arms that were white and tender, couldn't help blushing, put down his sleeves again, and followed the others to lift up the bricks.

"Auntie." Seeing the busy work in her yard, Su Xiazhi didn't dare to waste any more time, so she called Aunt Gao over and said, "Just keep an eye on the workshop, the most important thing is to prepare according to the recipe. The number of slips must be enough!"

"Don't worry, when you're not around, we all follow the rules you set, so it's okay." The workshop opened, and the walls of the owner's courtyard were blown down by joy. Aunt Gao was a little excited, I feel 20 years younger, back when I started a family in my teens, she was full of energy...

"Well, don't start a fire over there at noon, I'll make all the food with my hands, and you bring them over to eat."

"Success!" Aunt Gao agreed, greeted the well-dressed women and trotted happily back to their yard.

A few women over there happily started working, and their own yard here has become a construction site full of violence!Su Xia looked left and right, then shook her head, and went home directly through the gap that was just cleared.

"Sister-in-law, what do we have for lunch?" Gao Yue ran over with the dead chicken.

"Fart!" Su Xiazhi snatched the chicken in her hand, threw it on the ground and whispered, "Do you think your talented brother is a government servant who can do that job?"

"Hey!" Gao Yue patted the back of his head and bared his teeth, then ran to a bunch of busy people: "Brother Xiucai, sister-in-law asked where you put the tea..."

"Sensible!" Su Xiazhi praised him secretly, and then entered the kitchen with a sad face: "There are so many people, cooking on a stove is really troublesome!"

Boil a pot of water and want to pluck the dead chicken first. In such a hot weather, you must quickly pick it up, otherwise it will stink in a while!
After leaving the kitchen and throwing the chicken in the tub, Su Xiazhi heard the courtyard door knocked. She walked over and opened the door to see that it was her brother.

"Ouch!" She wailed as she looked at the large basket of eggs Su Chunlai was carrying on her back, "How did I forget that today is supposed to be pickled eggs day!"

Su Chunlai walked into the yard with straight eyebrows, and first handed her the basket in his hand: "The top flowers are thorny, freshly picked, mother said you like to use this."
